Has Hasbro pulled out of SDCC?

[lostboys]

Found this at a yard sale this past weekend. It's in great condition but very dusty. I need some advice on the best way to clean it. I tried canned air, didn't work. 

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

On a solid piece like that, and if you feel confident there isn't any UV damage or paint flaking, I would soak it in boiled(distilled) water and clean with a very soft bristled brush, like a soft paint brush or even soft bristled tooth brush

Nice warm water soak shouldn't hurt

Warm water and a toothbrush. Some really light soap if it has any grime (and then rinse with clean water when done). Dry it with a soft cloth when you are done (try not to miss any water .... blow out spots that you can't get a soft cloth and wipe the rest dry). Great figure BTW!

A Japanese character. Second part of a 6 part combiner.

Here's a first look at next year's Marvel Legends X-Men wave. Gotta say, it's an awful BAF choice, but it's a nice sculpt, just a terrible character choice that I don't think will entice anybody. http://marveltoynews.com/marvel-legends-20th-anniversary-hulk-figure-x-men-legends-2022-series-revealed/

I don’t collect, but I kinda dig the Sabretooth

Never heard of it. Pretty unique

If anyone was looking for the Transformers Walgreens Red Alert Exclusive that is driving people nuts to find...

Walmart put some up for sale on the website.

Someone is smoking crack for these 5POA figures to be $20 each.  I fully understand that Super7/Reaction needs to pay for the Hasbro license on these but still.

Yeah, they're pricey, but I can't resist. They're $17.99 at BBTS, which I think is about as good as they get. Target has some of wave 1 online (but not the entire wave, and none of wave 2) so I guess it's possible to work a better deal on some figures using Target Circle deals, Red Card 5% off, and free shipping.

It's interesting to me that Wave 2 is already hitting the shelves at Target, whereas Wave 1 still hasn't shipped to me from BBTS.

Price aside, I'm all onboard for these. Each wave is giving us like 9 variations on troop builders, if not more. That's insane! They also look so great on card. If they weren't so crazy pricey, I'd be buying two sets of every wave. But a man must know his limits!

I am tempted, though I don't collect MP scale. Raiden always seemed so cool and interesting, since it wasn't offered domestically. This looks like it's going to turn out really nice, but the total investment is more than I can really justify. We'll see how my (legendarily weak) resolve holds up.

Very cool, that's a Penney's/Sears version, right? I dig these and the hasbro direct mailaways. Tough to find these days.

Unknown at this point.  That is assuming that we will actually have a SDCC.  Last time they did "special edition" if I am correct and Hasbro did their own thing. 

[Buzzetta]

I don't get this... Playmates is bringing back the Star Trek line but at 5"...  

Why not make it that extra inch to be more compatible to every other line that Hasbro and Mattel are doing?

Also... 

I figured that this would happen.  Now I am okay with selling off my old Indy figures from 2008. 

Hasbro reacquired or reactivated the license to produce Indiana Jones figures.  I have only one six inch figure and that is of Snake Eyes.  Whatever scale this is, will be an wallet opener for me.
